1) I gotta have that BAAAHHHHBELLLL!!!

As mentioned a little over a week ago, we are rolling up on our next challenge. And it’s a whopper. Crazy….Like Christopher-Walken-in-a-Japanese-prison-camp-hiding-watches-in-bad-places-crazy. Here are some more details and next steps…

.

* The challenge will run from Friday, November 23rd to Friday January 18th

* Each participant will select one of six options to choose from (in 3 categories)

Regarding your selection….the absolute goal here is to pick a WEAKNESS!! Something you want to improve upon…your wind, your strength, or overall WOD performance. Put another way, look at what you LEAST want to do…and do that. You coaches will help you decide.

.

* Testing will take place on Friday, November 23rd (BLACK FRIDAY). There will be NO REGULAR CLASSES that day…we will strictly be testing for the challenge.

* RE-testing will take place on Friday, January 18th. You will be scored on your IMPROVEMENT over baseline (starting body weight will be considered for strength). And it should go without saying…no sandbagging on Black Friday!! All-out effort is expected, and you coaches will help you determine appropriate effort and baseline movement.

* Standards will be released, so there will be little question around things like squat depth, KB swings, Box Jumps, etc

* Each category will have a CFK Coach assigned to it, to assist you with your progress. Your coach will provide two days of additional programming/suggestions per week for you to work on your goal.

* Then we hit January 18th…and you smash the hell out of your baseline.

* The winners of each category will be the ones who scored the best improvement over their baseline.

.

…oh yeah, and each of the 6 winners will be entered into a drawing. And the winner of that drawing will receive their own brand new customized ROGUE FREAKIN ZEUS BARBELL.

.

LET’S. EFFING. GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

.

To sign up, go to this link and put your name in your desired category:

AFTER the comp that day, after you shower and recover, we will reconvene for the CFK Xmas Party at 6:00PM that night! Food will be served, and feel free to bring a side or dessert to share, as well as your favorite Adult Medicine (egg nog? Christmas Tito’s?? Kwanza Michelob Ultra???). Bring a Yankee Swap gift as well….SOMEBODY needs to dethrone Kirkland for the best Swap gift…though that will be a tall order this year…bring you A-Game!!

.

We can’t wait to spend some time with our favorite peeps!

3) Facility Update

.

You may have noticed yesterday that construction began on the additional rig structure in the back corner. It’s almost complete (bear with us, targeting a Thursday completion), and looks awesome… thanks Mikey & Crew! This will better maximize our space for pull-ups, ring-rows, TTB, Bar MU’s, wall climbs, HSPU and wall balls. Phase two of this will focus on the front of the gym, where we will solidify the wall (no more holes and sheet rock crumbles) and add additional wall space for wall climbs and HSPU.

.

Two other projects in the queue, yet these are the most immediate. More to come next update…

.

4) KB Club & Founder’s Club

.
